Professional students and their families invest a significant amount of time and finances to obtain a degree. While education is not a typical consumer good and should not be treated as such, there are certain expectations that colleges and schools should be prepared to meet. This article contrasts academic entitlement issues with 4 fundamental rights underpinning colleges' and schools' fiduciary responsibilities to students. The authors submit that students, in their roles as higher education consumers, have the following rights: (1) to have the opportunity to learn, (2) to learn from faculty members dedicated to best teaching practices, (3) to learn within a curriculum designed to prepare them for the profession, and (4) to have access to resources necessary to succeed.
专业学生及其家庭投入了大量的时间和金钱来获取学位。虽然教育并非典型的消费品，也不应被视为消费品，但学院和学校应做好准备满足某些期望。本文将学术权利问题与支撑学院和学校对学生的受托责任的四项基本权利进行了对比。作者认为，学生作为高等教育消费者，享有以下权利：（1）有学习的机会；（2）向致力于最佳教学实践的教师学习；（3）在为其职业发展做准备的课程体系内学习；（4）获得成功所需的资源。
